IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic

safety precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

and knobs.

3. To protect against fire, electrical shock,

and injury to persons, DO NOT IMMERSE

CORD, PLUG, OR UNIT in water or other

liquids.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any

appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and

before cleaning. Allow to cool before put-

ting on or taking off parts, and before

cleaning appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged cord or plug or after the appli-

ance malfunctions or has been damaged in

any manner. Return appliance to the near-

est Cuisinart Authorized Service Facility for

examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not

recommended by Cuisinart may result in

fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let power cord hang over edge of

table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or

electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11.

Unplug the unit when finished baking

waffles.

1

2. Do not use appliance for other than intended

use.

13. Always attach plug to appliance first, then

plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect,

turn control to setting #1, then remove plug

from the outlet.

14. Extreme caution must be used when moving

an appliance containing hot oil or other hot

liquids.

15.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,

REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. NO USER

SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE.

16.

Do not operate your appliance in an

appliance garage or under a wall cabinet.

When storing in an appliance garage

always unplug the unit from the electri-

cal outlet. Not doing so could create a risk

of fire, especially if the appliance touches

the walls of the garage or the door touches

the unit as it closes.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SPECIAL CORD SET

INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to

reduce the risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer extension cords are available and may

be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long extension cord is used, the marked

electrical rating of the extension cord should be

at least as great as the electrical rating of

the appliance, and the longer cord should be

arranged so that it will not drape over the coun-

tertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by

children or animals, or tripped over.

NOTICE:

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of

electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized

outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully

in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not

fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify

the plug in any way.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Before using your Cuisinart

®

Classic Waffle

Maker for the first time, remove any dust

from shipping by wiping the plates with a

damp cloth. Remove all protective paper

and wrapping.

2. Preheat the waffler. Close grids and plug

cord into a 120V AC wall outlet. The red

light will go on to signal power. Allow the

waffle maker to preheat. The green indica

-

tor light will go on when it is ready to use.

Note: The first time you use your waffle

maker, it may have a slight odor and may

smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to

appliances with a nonstick surface.

3

. Pour batter when green indicator light goes

on. Pour batter onto the center of the lower

waffle grid. Use a heat-proof plastic spatula

to spread batter evenly over the grids. Close

the lid.

4

. The green light will go off and the red light

will once again illuminate. It may take several

seconds for the red light to come on. This is

normal.

5.

Once the waffles are ready to eat, the green

light will again come on.

6. Baking time is determined by browning

level. Choose a setting on the browning

control dial. We recommend using setting

#3 for golden brown waffles.

7. Once the waffle is ready, remove it by gen

-

tly loosening the edges with a heat-proof

plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as

they may damage the nonstick coating.

8.

Always disconnect the plug from the wall

outlet once baking is completed.

cooking spray or flavorless vegetable

oil. If using oil, apply oil with a paper

towel or pastry brush. You may find it

helpful to repeat this process before

each use of the waffle maker.

TIPS TO MAKE

PERFECT WAFFLES

We recommend setting #3 for golden

brown waffles.

If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase

the browning control to setting #4 or 5.

For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto

the center of the lower grid and close the

cover.

We recommend using ½ cup batter per waffle

for evenly filled waffles.

Waffles are best when made to order, but

baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F

oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil while

in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose

their crispiness.

Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool

completely, then place in plastic food storage

bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles

separated. Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven

when ready to use.

SUGGESTED TOPPINGS

Maple syrup, fruit syrups

Warm fruit compote, fruit sauce

Fresh berries, chopped fruit, chopped nuts

Powdered sugar

Whipped cream, ice cream, sorbet

Chocolate sauce

Fruited yogurt

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Once you have finished baking, remove plug

from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so

grids begin to cool.

Never take your waffle maker apart for cleaning.

Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb

any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth

or paper towel.

You may clean the grids by wiping with a damp

cloth to prevent staining and sticking from

batter or oil buildup.

Be certain grids have

cooled completely before cleaning. If batter

adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking

oil onto the baked batter and let stand approxi

-

mately 5 minutes, thus allowing it to soften for

easy removal.

To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth.

Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad.

NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN

WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

Any other servicing should be performed by an

authorized service representative

STORAGE

Store with cord wrapped

securely around base. Plug

prongs fit into the special

grooves on the side of the

waffle maker. For compact

storage, stand waffle maker on

opening end so Cuisinart logo

is facing you. The waffle maker

has been designed with a spe

-

cial latching feature so the lid

stays closed during storage.

refer the consumer to an independent repair

9

facility, replace the product, or refund the pur-

chase price less the amount directly attributable

to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If

neither of the above two options results in the

appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer

may then take the product to an independent

repair facility, if service or repair can be eco

-

nomically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the
